Does anyone else's phone refuse to boot while charging? Whether I press power or hold it until it vibrates, no matter what my phone returns to the charging indicator and will not boot while plugged in.

true story, doesnt work for me either. thought my phone broke the other day because of this, until i tried booting the phone not plugged in.
Mine boots fine. Could be a ROM issue, that happened before with a specific ROM I was using but went away when I switched.

Battery Loop
Hello, This happen to me last night.
I've been using the CM10 nightlies, no problems...
I pulled the battery last night (was in the middle of an event and wanted to make sure it wouldnt suddenly ring).
Never woke back up. Plugging it into the charger just vibrates, shows the battery with the spinner for a split second and then again, and again and again in a loop.
Every now and again through removing USB charger/plugging in at the right timing (or resetting from download mode) I get the samsung logo, and a brief flash of the SIII logo...
I've flashed stock with ODIN, same deal.
Is my battery borked?
The SG I used to function with no battery plugged in.
Any advice?

mine doesnt either. if i used to reboot it would stay on charging screen....NOW it reboots but if its off and i turn it on while charging it wont boot unless i disconnect it then wait a second for boot then plug it back in......I got the ability for it not to get stuck in the charging mode via reboot after using TRINITY's new kernel....so i wonder if its kernel based?
I now this is an old thread but...............
I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 and searched XDA for the problem I'm having which appears to be the same thing. Whenever I try to charge my phone with the battery off, I get the battery icon with the spinning thing and that's it. I never see the percentage, the LED doesn't light up, and I can't boot the phone unless I pull the battery. It's not a deal breaker although I could probably get another phone from Sprint.........or maybe even a new battery. Did anyone find the cause or fix for this? Like I said, I'm on Sprint and running Free GS3 with ktoon's kernel. Definitely doesn't seem to be carrier, ROM, or kernel based.
I was on wicked JB rom and ktoonez kernel and i noticed the issue. Odin backed to stock ICS H2 and it went away.

I've got a samsung epic 4g Touch on the sprint network. the phone randomly shows the USB connected/MTP message in the status bar when the phones not plugged in. when i try to reset it in this situation, it shows the battery-charging screen, and wont restart untill i yank the battery. after which it runs normal again.
any ideas whats causing this?
what rom are u running?? have u tried booting into recovery and doing a wipe??
I had this same problem, I think it had something to do with the power where I was staying. I was charging it in a hotel and it did this all day, took it out to my car charged it for 30 minutes and it fixed it. My guess is some type of brown out, or power failure in the middle of the night that caused it to charge abnormally

its operating the stock firmware gingerbread. my gf's phone did the same thing, and she simply replaced it with a new one.
Since the first ROM I have a strange problem, everytime I turn my One X off, plugin the charger it keeps not only charging but will power up the device to normal mode eventually - i.e. no special charging mode etc. It sometimes takes several hours but in the end it will always be on which is really frustrating.
I've tried different ROMs with different Kernels, I'm now on CM10 nightly - still it powers up magically if I have turned if off before and plug in the charger.
Does anyone else have this problem??? Any suggestions?
Same here
I've got the same issue. Exactly as you described.
I don't have any idea why is it happening - is it a hardware or software issue.
:silly:
It's part of CWM. Flash stock recovery if you don't want this to happen then you'll lose root.

What is your cwm version? Try upgrading to 5.8.4.0.
Is this on One X only because I never had that on any other device?

Mine is 5.8.4.0.
Can you try reflaehing it? Earlier versions had that problem.
Also, you can try it with twrp to see if that helps.
EDIT. I may have misunderstood guys. Earlier cwms wouldnt let you stay powered down after shutting the phone down. It would turn on even without plugging in.
EDIT2 Turned mine off. Plugged it in. Remains off so far. Will see in the morning. It certainly sounds like cwm problem. Try twrp and see if that helps.
I do already have 5.8.4.0 :-\

You are not alone, all of us are facing this one, and i think it's pretty normal.
If you drain your battery to zero, and if you start to charge it, one hour after (that's what i've noticed) it'll boot up and it'll show up your lock screen.
This is normal for the HOX?
Im completely stock, un-rooted etc etc.
And when my HOX is off, when I plug the charger in it boots the phone. But then if you switch it off whilst the charger is on, it will not re-boot up.
It still happens, I have reflashed recovery and stuff and it still turns on itself.
I just tried it over night, started with a 41% charge left, turned it off, plugged in the charger and this morning it was turned on. :'(
I have the SGH-T999 running the RC2 version of CM 10.1. I flashed Mako Kernel this morning to try it out and when I rebooted the phone after the flash the screen went dark. I figured there was just a reboot issue and held down the power button but nothing happened. I pulled the battery and put it back in, tried to reboot, nothing. No matter what I do the phone does not turn on now...no booting into recovery, no booting into download mode, nothing at all.
Some interesting things to note:
-When I plug the phone into an outlet WITHOUT the battery being in, the notification light turns on in a red color. When you put the battery in while it's in this state the light remains illuminated.
-I left the battery out of the phone for about 30 minutes and when I put it back in (while the phone was unplugged) the camera flash blinked very quickly.
-My GF has the same phone and all of her stuff is working fine. I tried out her battery but the phone still won't turn on (thus eliminating it being a battery issue).
I'm at a loss...I've owned several top-of-the-line Android phones and have rooted/customized them all and have never bricked anything ever. Is this phone truly done for??

you flashed a kernel for the Galaxy Nexus if I'm not mistaken... You bricked, nothing wrong with the phones hardware. Jtag is your option now.
I am having troubles booting my phone after the battery depletes and the phone shuts off. My Optimus G is rooted with lifeless Rom v14 and I have TWRP recovery.
So once the phone dies, I plug it in to charge, and the phone screen automaticaly comes on and the LG logo flashes for a second, but nothing happens. The phone doesn't actually charge. If I remove the phone from the charger, the display still stays on until I hard reset it. I cannot access recovery mode or download mode for some reason. Usually when my phone dies, and I plug it in, it will flash the LG logo, keep the display on for a few seconds, and then shut down and restart and show the battery logo charging. I am not getting that this time, and I can't seem to do anything to get it operating again. There also isn't a red LED light to represent charging either. If anyone has had this issue before or knows how to fix it, I'd really appreciate the information right now.
Thanks

That actually just happened to me too
All I did was unplug the phone, hold the power button until the screen turns off, and power up the phone. I do think the phone may need to plugged in for a bit after it does before it will boot. Hope you find a solution.

I had to use LGNPST and teenybin to get anywhere. I got the program all setup and after trial and error, I fixed the problem, only to be found with another problem. Now my phone doesn't seem to want to charge. It will go to the charging screen and everything, but the red pulsing LED isn't on like it used to be, and it doesn't seem like it really is charging. on TWRP, the battery percentage doesn't even show, except until recently it started showing, and then it disapears because it has no power. Any help?!

So I recently installed CM 10.1.2 on my S3, and everything worked perfectly for a few days. Yesterday though, my phone started acting strangely (lag when turning screen off, registering phantom input, etc) and began rebooting every few minutes. At some point, it ran out of battery - and now I can no longer boot past the CM loading wheel screen.
I can't boot to recovery, and I don't think my phone is taking charge (from my computer or a wall outlet), and the farthest I can get is the loading wheel - sometimes it only gets as far as displaying the Samsung logo, or the Galaxy S3 screen with the android dude at the bottom.
I'm still covered under warranty, and would love to take it to the store for a replacement (I've had battery issues prior to this), but the fact that it can get to the CM loading wheel means that they might figure out that I've rooted and whatnot. But I can't get to recovery to flash a stock image, so...what can I do?

Your best shot is to either borrow someone's S3 battery or buy a battery pack. Use that to restore your phone back to stock (unroot) and then you can go to the store for replacement.

So turns out battery isn't the issue, I used a wall charger to get it to full charge. I can get it to the download mode confirmation screen, and can press volume up to confirm - but my phone reboots soon after that.
Recovery isn't really possible either, I can see the blue text in the upper right but my phone reboots after that as well.
My phone will often show an empty battery icon with a little refresh icon in the middle; does this indicate that it doesn't see the battery as charged (even though it is)?

Yeah I've been doing some research into the issue...
I've noticed that my phone automatically boots when I put the battery in, and that it'll do a quick vibrate when plugged in to a power source (outlet or computer) but won't turn on.
Apparently the phone isn't supposed to boot automatically when the battery is put in, and this could be the source of the random reboots - I think if I can get the rebooting under control, I'll be able to get into download mode and fix it all. But I'm not sure how to do that. Maybe the power button has gone bad, as it also doesn't usually respond when I try to use it to turn on.
If there is a problem with the power button, does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

Mine does the exact same thing where I have to pull the battery and when I put it back in it automatically starts up and when I go to download or recovery it turns off before I can do anything
Sounds like power button issue.
I was having the same issues (random reboots, boot loop, powering on when battery put in, reboots in download mode and recovery)
This is not an easy fix. I ended up pulling the power button out and just setting my screen to time out after 15 seconds. Sucks but it works now.
If I ever need to turn off or hard reboot, I stick a pin in the power button hole and push down on the button.
Really turning me off on purchasing future Samsung phones

The power button is a common issue for these phones.
